Maybe your motherboard BIOS came with a Windows licence? I don't know all
the ways it can get embedded there.

Either way, if you start the installation, it'll never ask you for a key
and you'll find everything's authorized automatically. Some machines (like
this HP laptop) have very obvious OEM licenses (the string "OEM" shows up
several times in the BIOS record) that probably wouldn't transfer well to
VirtualBox, etc.

cheers,
 Stewart
